To all whom/it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES STOLLBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing in Toledo, in the county of. Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented: a new and useful Imrovement in Bailed SheetwMetal Kegs for 'te' Lead or other Heavy :Materials, of which the followin is a specification,

My invention re ates to improvements in the construction of sheet metal kegs or vesselslfor holding and shipment of white lead v or other heavy materials. I Y

My invention consists in a sheet metal keg having a s'seamless, or preferably seamless, body drawn up out of one piece with integral bottom, and havingan open mouth at its upper end of full size, adapted to receive an inside tight fitting friction cover and provided with an outwardly curled edge or roll at its] upper end, embracing a strengthening andsti ening wire, and". provided with integral cover holding lips adapted to be pinched or bent down over the of the cover after-the cover has been inserted, the strengthening 2 5 wire having atdiametrically op o'site points integral coils therein forming eyes to receive the hooks of the bail, a bail secured to said bail ears, and an inside tight fittin friction cover fitting within the open 0 moutii of-the body of the keg and'serving to stiffenand strengthen the upper end thereof,-

as wellas to close the package.

- My invention also consists in the novel construction of parts and devices, and in the -5 novel combination of parts and devices 'heree inshown and described. v In the accompanying drawing forming a part or this specification,- Figure 1 is a central vertical'sction-o'f a sheet steelke for 0 white lead or other like materials, embo ying, my invention. 'Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line-2+2 of Fig. 1'. Fig. 3 is a detail par-r tial lan view showing thebailYin section; and g i 4 is a detail elevation showing one. of 45. the bai ears. and aportion of thebail.

- In the drawing, A re resents the seamless body of my sheet steel eg, the same having an nte al bottom or lower head A. and an ,integra roll or curl a at its up%er edge em- 50. bracing a stre thening wire which fitsf within the an 'ar roll a and is thus firmlp and securely united to the body of the vessel.

- receive and accommodate hori'zontally projecting ail ears or 1 inFig. 2 of the drawing.

Icaim:-

The strengthening wire B has. integral loops o'r coils b at diametrically opposite pointsot the keg to form bail ears. or eyes-b forreceiv- 5 5 ing the hooks c of the Wire bail C. The flange a forming thecurl or roll a has integral upwardly proi'ecting lips a? at the u,p right or transverse y extending integral bailz ear-coils b, which lips are adaptcdto be bent down over the rim ofthe" cover D after the cover is inserted. The cover holding lips a,

form slots or open segments in the roll a to the bail car coils or loo s d of the wire B. 6 5 he cover D has 'an upwardly projecting friction seat wall or flan e d terminating in a' auge or shoulder d, the friction seat wall or flange d fitting snugly Within the mouth a of the body A and forming-a' tight frictional fit therewith and thus efiecting-a secure closure of the keg and'at the 1 same time, bracing, stiffening and strengthening the'upper or mouth end thereof; After the ke has beenfilled, and the cover driven or creed home, thefintegral cover holding lips a are clenched or bent down over the rim of the cover, thus securely looking it in place. the bail ears I) are in tegral -with the wire B and as this wire B,

embracing the upper end. of the body, is itself snugly embraced within the annular roll a at the upper end of the-body of the keg, the bail ears are very firmly and securely attached, and at the same timeof a very sim- .85 ple construction adding little to the cost of the vessel as a whole. The strengthening wire B may, if'desired,'be made inytwo sepa'e V rate pieces as indicated by the dotted lines b I. The sheet steel-keg for white" lead or other materials, comprising a seamless body, an inte ral bottom, the body having an the gral rol at its upperend, a strengthenin 5- wire surrounding the bod and embrace within said roll and provi ed with diainet rically opposite integral bail ear coils, a tight friction 'fit cover fittin 'within the mouth of the body, said body aving integral cover {zoo holding lips bentdown over the rimof the cover to lock the cover in place, and. a ball; substantially as specified. a

2. The sheet steel keg for white lead or other materials, comprising a seamless body, an integral bottom, the body havingan integrail roll at its upper end, a strengthening wire surrounding the bodv and embraced Within said roll and provided with diametrically opposite integral bail ear coils, a tight friction fit cover fitting within the mouth of the body, said body l1avi'ng integral cover holding lips bentdown over the rim of the cover to look the cover in place, said cover 'having a projecting marginal flange fitting against the saidroll on the up er end of the 1 body, substantially as specifiec in said roll to'receive said bail ear coils or loops, substantially as speoified.

4. In a sheetmetal vessel; the combination with a bodv having a-strengthening wire at its upper end and a flange embracing said bail ears or loops, a cover fitting within the mouth of said body and 'eover holding lips on the body, adjacent to said bail ears or'loops,

said coverholding li s being inte all with saidwire eInbrac-ing ange of the ody and forming slots-or openings therein to receive gaiill bail ears or loops, substantially as speci- CHARLES STOLLBERG.
